Trial summary

The investigators aimed to study the effect of prohepcidin levels on hematologic parameters and inflammatory markers in non-diabetic uremic patients. The investigators selected three groups of patients: Hemodialysis group, peritoneal dialysis group and the group with stage 4 chronic kidney disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Relationship of Prohepcidin Levels With Anemia and Inflammatory Markers in Non-diabetic Uremic Patients: A Controlled Study

The investigators aimed to study the effect of prohepcidin levels on hematologic parameters and inflammatory markers in non-diabetic uremic patients. The investigators selected three groups of patients: Hemodialysis group, peritoneal dialysis group and the group with stage 4 chronic kidney disease. A control group was formed from healthy volunteers also. Each group has been planned to be formed of about 25 patients. Diabetic patients were excluded. Prohepcidin, hsCRP, IL-6, fibrinogen have been planned to be studied besides other routine biochemical analysis including hematological ones.

    Measured: Six months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Anemia and inflammatory markers

    Correlations of prohepcidin levels with anemia and inflamatory markers

    Measured: Six months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammation and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Haseki Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

prohepcidin level (time frame: Six months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Nov 2012.
